Synopsis
Hebe sits in the dark, listening to her hypocritical grandparents and older siblings discuss the need to end her unexpected pregnancy to avoid shame. Determined to raise her child, she escapes at night with her mother's jewelry to aid her journey. Twelve years later, she happily lives alone in Cornwall, with her son attending an expensive private school. But as the separate threads of her life interweave, the steady rhythm of her life is threatened, changing her world forever.
